That is the way you appear oa
Un<*e Sam's records in Washington,
pro tided the Census enumerator
found yen and tuned in his report
according to schedule. And, so far as
the- Government at Washington is
conferasd with you ease, that's all
they know or want to know about
you;
Ykwr name does not appear oh the
card. It is on the enumerator's
sheet, of course, but those axe all
baldd up and stored away in a vault
where there isnt one chance in a
million of you individual name be
ing*' dug out far any imaginable pur
pose. In the course of time these
old Reports will go to the paper mill,
and then the only identity -yon wffl
have loft is the punched card, look
ing j somewhat like a rectangular cut
at Swiss cheese.
Ja fast as the enumerators' re-1
trrne come to Washington they are I
turn#*. over to several hundred young I
women who sit all day in. frontlm
dectmehily operated te*
chines ?nd transfer-the ?hnmeuator'S
inform^bM to tbese?tBanb. Avouch
in a cemEn position- on the card
means that you live i na certain
state or territory. Another punch in
dicates your county, a third you;
town, a fourth your census enumer
ation district. The holes are all the
same size, the only difference for ,
each fact recorded being the positiom
of the hole in the card. There a|v
as many keys on the puncfaii 9L?A/
chine as there are possibl<"3i3eg&*rt ?
facts about any individual aipd the
ouerator merely preteee <^tbe~ Correct
key and the martuafr' punches the
hole in the righl^pluce. "?
A punch in one poaftfeto means you
live on a farm, in nether but you
dont Whether you are male or;|a^:
male is indicated by another rpoaeh
in a differeat place. jJChkr or race,
age, whether marrM^' siaglfe or''
widowed, your education ststus^ ue-'
upation and all of the other bother
some questions which you have to
answer for the Census man, all axe
reduced to holes in a card.
When all of the required holes have
been punched in a card, it is fed into
anotbe highly ingenius machine,
which at one operation adds the facts
which the card contains to all the
other facts of the saipa character/
This-second madrine-has hundreds of
fttHe* metal reds or pMngers, o*e for
?very possible position of a .bole in
a card - Nothing happuus when one
of the plungers toadies the surface
of the eari ata-pofafcafc ufckh time
; is no hole, but wherever there is a
hole in the eard, one of the metal
plungers goes right through it For
example, if yod'axw a^tadnese, none
of the plungers indteatiiv Mexican,
Indian negro or Filipino Mood would,
go through the eand, but thS one" con
nected with the CfctaBse eonntmr
would pan through the -hole which,
indicates Chinese birth. In doing this
it makes an dectrkal eonteet whkh
registers anethearfigux* on the ems*
ting
other plungers which figds p-hole to
go into. An thirty-one of them make
their records simultaneously, and the
punt bad cards pass Utrfu^h^ each

Whom Tecommended that tfid body en

Wbmen Voters, which would require
chtidren under 16 yean to finish the
Sixth grade before leaving school for
work 'and would remove the fourth
grade class from the present law un
der which children who have finished
the fourth grade are permitted to
work more than 48 hours per Week.
These recommendations will come be
fore the convention tomorrow for fi
nal action.
While many reports were heard
during the morning and addresses by
Commissioner of Revenue A. J. Max
well and EL K. Carpenter, manager
of radio station WPTF this afternoon
and much WnflHess transacted, mem
bers called it a day at 6 o'clock and

session of the convention in the surf.
Tonight there is a dance, and the
two boats chartered by the Wilming
ton association for the entertainment
of visitors -are kept bray.
President Holoman in hia report
observed:
"It is unfortunately true that many
stores endeavor to secure the services
of women at a price upon which no
woman can live. These are usually
corporations' whose sentiments are
entirely foreign to local communities
and who have absolutely no interest
beyond their own in local affairs,
whereas merchants with a sense of
focal civic pride are compelled to tow
er their wag? scale to meet the prices
Of these competitors or sacrifice their
business to them because of not being
able to mept their- prices,"
' He expressed the hope that the
League of Women Voters would un
dertake to work out a minimum wage
seato for women.
< ?' Mr. Harrison also introduced a res
olution condemning the "misguide^ ;?
activities?' of county tax leagues* who
axe advocating a sales tax as a means
of accomplishing the "lattdlble objec
tive'' of property tax reduction.' Mr.
Harrison's resolution will, if passed
when it comes before $he convention
today for action, put the convention
on record as being "unalterably op
posed to a sales tax of any kind,"
either a-, general sales' Via* on *0
commodities, a luxury tax, or any
other form.
